Please note that some details such as shape, degree of distortion, texture, and color may not be clearly visible in the images.
Please understand that each piece is handcrafted by the artist.
There may be some iron spots (black dots) that appear when the iron content in the clay oxidizes during firing.
Also, small indentations (pinholes) may be present, but these are natural phenomena that occur during the firing process and are not defects.
Please enjoy them as part of the unique character of the piece.
For more details, please refer to the handling instructions.
Beautiful gradation created by the varying shades of glaze
A soft, slightly deep green with a hint of sweetness.
It's understated, yet subtly brightens up your dining table.
This is a small plate that gently accompanies your daily meals.
The small 10cm size is perfect for pickles, condiments, or small side dishes.
It blends naturally with dishes of gentle colors like potato salad and shira-ae (tofu salad), and when vibrant ingredients like tomatoes or red turnips are placed on it, it complements their color while harmonizing with the table.
It can also be used as a saucer by placing a small cup on it.
Not too flashy, not too overbearing.
Yet, its mere presence softens the atmosphere of the dining table.
For everyday meals and entertaining alike.
It's the kind of tableware you just want to reach for.

Kawai Mizuki
Kawai-san, who is from Aichi Prefecture, is currently creating pottery in Kyoto.
She has loved making things since she was a child. When considering university, she recalled making mud pies enthusiastically in sandboxes in her childhood and boldly chose the crafts course at Nagoya University of Arts.
After studying pottery at university, she worked for four years at a studio in Tamba Sasayama, Hyogo Prefecture.
In 2022, she became independent in Kyoto and officially started her own pottery activities.
Kawai-san's works feature exquisitely formed shapes that belie their creation on a potter's wheel, captivating with their feminine, soft colors and beautiful gradations.
Kawai-san originally preferred matte glazes and had created many pieces with them.
"One day, I was captivated by the subtly different expressions created within a single glaze due to firing and other conditions, and I wanted to express them."
Her current style, born from this desire, offers a myriad of expressions through the shading and bleeding of glazes, allowing for the enjoyment of nuanced depth.
Another charm is the lightness of her pieces, made from semi-porcelain.
They are easy to hold, blend into daily life, and add a gentle touch of color to the dining table.
